Well, I owe everyone a U-Con re-cap. That isn't happening today. I have lot's of awesome stuff to share about it, but I just don't have time to write it up right now. So for now, for everyone celebrating it this week, Happy Thanksgiving. Just remember that when you're relatives are getting to you, you could be Bilbo Baggins.

Life is hectic. That said, I'm not a blogger of the sort that likes to bog down the readers with such. I would rather give you these glorious mammoths from the Hildebrandt Brother's 1982 Atlantis Calendar. Also, I would like to apologize, as the Numenera lot deal at Noble Knight Games is is done due to them having run out of the module that came with it. That said, they have greatly reduced the prices of both the individual core book and Player's Guide. The core book can be found here and has been reduced from the cover price of $59.99 to $35.96 saving a total of $24.04 on the core rules! That is a pretty hefty discount. The Player's Guide is here and is marked down to $11.66 from $19.99. Still good deals on both. I would still wager to say that these are deals you won't want to pass on if you've been thinking about picking up the system. Now, for some mammoth action...

What if I told you that Gamezone Miniatures of Spain was releasing an Anniversary edition of the board game Heroquest! It's funny because I put out this poorly written bit about the petition to get Games Workshop to release a new edition about a year ago. Well, that is now no longer needed. Gamezone has been tweeting about it for a few days now and has put up an official website here. It seems that they have the rights to produce this game "in Spain." What that entails, I'm not certain, but I have seen it stated that it will not be distributed in the U.S. or Great Britain. Still, you can buy it from Spain and pay the shipping if you so desire. You can also support the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. Gamezone has already assured some that the price will be similar to that of Fantasy Flight Games Descent. All of that said I'm pretty certain that the game won't take place in GW's "Old World" setting. Here is a list of what Gamezone is saying the core box will consist of:

HEROQUEST 25th ANIVERSARY

Box contents

-1 BOARD – ALFA Model

Reversible, with two usable sides, Side A the classic dungeons. Side B exterior ruins and places

- 1 MENTOR SCREEN

With Fundamental rules inside the hollows of the scenery, just as if they where reliefs in stone.

This is so bad that it aired only once in history! 35 years ago today the Star Wars Holiday Special went down in history as the single worst thing to happen to Star Wars. Ever. Period. Trust me folks, this thing is worse than Jar Jar Binks. Watch are your own peril.

I've had a chance to play a session of Numenera, and while it looks at first glance to have the "clunk" of a D20 game, but it is quite quick and streamlined. The game is overall rules lite, but with a lot of mechanical advantages (and cosmetic ones as well) for the players. Additionally the world of Numenera is an amazing Sci-Fantasy set in earth's far future. I was on the fence about whether I'd like it or not. In the end, it's a solid game that hits my rules lite spot dead on. If you want to try it, now is probably a good time to pick it up. The retail price of the Numenera core book is $59.99. Noble Knight Games just released a "lot" of Numenera consisting of the Core Book, Players Guide and Devil's Spine adventure for a total of $69.99. Additionally, Noble Knight is currently running their "Fall Sale." This places the lot at $62.96. That is down from cover price of $106.97 for all three books! That is an amazing deal. Like I said, if you've been itching to try Numenera now would be a good time. Click here to take advantage of the savings before the sale is over and the lots are gone!

A couple of things. First, update on The Black Book of Faust. Due to some real life problems, work on this has been slowed to a crawl. Still working, and re-reading what I have at the moment, but it's slow going. I anticipate that I will have much more time after Thanksgiving to complete the playtests and the actual book!

In the meantime I have had to dive into the material that I am using for my Swords & Wizardry games at U-Con. I have most of my ducks in a row for my Swords & Wizardry/Arduin mash-up. Everything is ready on my Swords & Wizardry Intro game, as it is the same as the one I ran at Barbecon in September. Therefore, besides making pre-gens I am just going over Palace of the Vampire Queen, which I am running as my "Fall Classic" this year.

I own a the Palace of the Vampire Queen - 9th Printing put out by Pacesetter games (which you can buy following the link.) Now, I have some things to say about this. As you likely know, this is the first module. Before TSR made their first, Wee-Warriors put out this little treat. In fact, if it wasn't for this piece of gaming history, there might be no modules or adventure paths today. This is first, and they did some things RIGHT! This module is so sand-boxy and open it isn't funny, and I like it. It hands you a framework, and that is it. Even the first TSR Modules are more fleshed out than this. That is likely what it was marketed as an Adventure Kit. That is to say, it gives you maps and some "meat" but leaves a lot open. Multiple Judges could run this and all have a different adventure (albeit with similar encounters.) Now, I'm not going to say much about what is in it (at least not before U-Con) but I would urge anyone that likes a good sandbox, or anyone that likes to see the history and development of RPG's to pick this up.

U-Con is again upon us! The three best days in Michigan Gaming will be here in a few short weeks. That said, today is the last day for Pre-Reg! You can do so here: U-CON. This year we have a slew of OSR and OSR friendly events! As well, this year FATE is being featured and the U-Con Tekumel track is back in effect. I myself have three events running, one of which is already booked. I'll be running a variant "Tower of the Stargazer" as a Swords & Wizardry Complete intro game. That is booked up. Additionally on Saturday evening I will be running an experimental mash-up, S&W Complete and Arduin Grimoire for some Gonzo action! Phraints and Elves living together! It's mass hysteria! Then on Sunday afternoon, I will be running S&W Complete again, this time as a "Fall Classic" running the first module. That's right, I'm rocking our my "Palace of the Vampire Queen."

I have the entire RPG list here. The above mentioned website will direct you toward other "tracks" board game,. miniatures etc. You will notice a LOT of Old School goodness this year, from the 1E game to Mutant future, to S&W White box and +Adam Muszkiewicz's DCC games! I'm particularly interested to see how the LotFP 0 level funnel experiment works out!
